Looking rather snazzy. Like the new in-line features, not so keen on the new profile look - it looks too crowded and basically becoming a Social Network.... which is not what the purpose of a forum is.

Because your forum don't receive many hits compared to vbulletin.com. For example your forum probs gets 5% of the hits vb.com gets.

And of course they would have servers; and an office they're a registered company. Its just with the big load of traffic trying to get on the site overloaded the server and it wasn't able to handle the requests etc...

[zeJosh]

As above, of course they'd have offices.
And as above yet again, the servers problem overloaded from hefty amounts
of web traffic.

Ye but when my site overloads it just says like page cannot be displayed.

They have more than one server and yes they have an office in England (in reading I think).

All servers have their limits - if microsoft gets too many hits, it will go down too but obviously they have loads and loads of servers - not just one sitting in a corner so it will take much more than a few thousand people to take the server offline .

Microsoft has 25 backup clusters on each of them they have 12 servers in a layered rack form, all containing the appropriate layers. If you then move onto DDOS - Microsoft is impossible to DDOS now because of the routing they have at there campus & several datacentres. They have the latest Cisco switches, in term meaning, it must pass through a switch, a router, and a bridge before you get to even a TCP connection with the server, and then the IP data back. Microsoft also have access to the largest backbone in the world, therefore the only way the Microsoft site will go offline is if it hacked (which would be nearly impossible), because the way they edit there site is all done locally and there file editing permissions are set to 127.0.0.1 (localhost), so unless you blew up the datacentre, blew up the backbone, robbed the Microsoft Campus or did super-human things like travel through your PC, Microsoft aint going down. I did not say that Microsoft couldn't be hacked, because the last person who did it was an employee who commited mal-practice, it's the fact that you believe Microsoft will go down with "X" amount of hits, where X is an interger standing for an alleged "maximum" number of hits.

Anyway,

vBulletin 3.7 does look rather interesting, and I do like it.

I love how you use big words to make your posts seem high tech . Who even mentioned DDOSing them?

For a start they are barely long words - they are very simple computing words. If you took CCNA (one of the lowest cisco qualifications, you would come across much bigger and more interesting words than that). Fortunately, the company I work for paid for me to do CCNA -> CCNP -> CCIE Security (I have the lab test still to do).

Well DDOS is trying to do something, that can't be done. It's a bunch of resources on the PC / Network that is not there - so what you where saying was, if the server got too many "hits" it would go down - meaning it wouldn't have enough resources to handle all the users, when infact a company like Microsoft would. Such a balderdash comment from you, I must say.

Anyway, you consider yourself as the general manager so I would expect you in all your professionalism to stay on topic - the reason I went "Off topic" is to tell you what was the truth, not what you thought. As you said in another post I read just now, "we learn something new each day one said".

Anyway, MAD, do you like vBulletin 3.7? Do you think it will be of use to HabboxForum?
